A long time ago, one server room (located in the basement of the university building) of SPB-IX was flooded. It was a fun day for engineers whom unplugged survived equipment standing knee-deep in water

It was before dam (1) was built and floods were a huge problem in SPB

Yes, all of them comply to local laws. But point is Yandex repeatedly denied all accusation of working with government by saying "No, we didn't filter news, it's our algorithms decided this topic from top1 twitter trend is not important at all"

Turns out their "algorithms" was "where source in state_approved_media"

How much money did Europe paid to Putin for gas supply in last years? They are still paying him even now because they value cheap gas over human lives.

Don't try to play saint card, West is also responsible for sponsoring this bloodshed

Try to understand difference between government and ordinary citizens who got beaten by police, thrown in jail, poisoned by chemical weapon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisoning_of_Alexei_Navalny or even killed for their protest action https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Boris_Nemtsov

And right now more than 7000 people already arrested in Russia for participating in anti-war protests https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_anti-war_protests_in_Russ... . Sorry we didn't trying hard enough!

It was never about surveillance (you already can't escape from cameras in Moscow).

They can (and will) use this system to restrict movement for "uncomfortable" persons — turnstile will not open for you if government do not like what you said in Twitter.
